1. Farne Islands
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 729 reviews
A group of islands on the very north-east of England which represent one of the greatest dangers to shipping around the entire British Isles.

There are plenty of companies offering boat trips to the Farne Islands and we were very pleased with ours offered by Billy Shiels. It combined an enjoyable cruise around the islands (including views of grey seals, cliff faces full of birds and Grace Darling’s Longstone Lighthouse) with an hour on Inner Farne which has boardwalks, toilets and information, so very visitor friendly. For our short visit, we shared the island with thousands of birds, including cormorants, terns and puffins feeding their young with beaks full of sand eels. I’ve never before seen so many puffins, nor been so close to them. Inner Farne is managed by the National Trust who have a kiosk on Seahouses quay where you should pay to land (or show your membership card) in exchange for a wrist band before embarking on the boat.

This place is totally amazing, when we went in i was a little disappointed that they weren't doing the bird of prey displays, but i soon changed my mind. first we looked at all the birds, and they do have many to see, but the highlight was being able to watch the very knowledgeable staff feed 3 of the birds, and they told us so much about the birds, they fed a falcon, a small grey owl and an American barn owl that was only 14 weeks old. This truly was the highlight of our holiday. I hope lots of people visit, particularly at the moment in these troubled times.

Fab few hours with my 10 year old son here. The instructor (Hannah) was great, good balance of humour whilst still making sure we all new what we were doing. And she was so supportive when my son had a little ‘wobble’ early on. After he got through the first Tarzan slide, he loved the rest of it, particularly the zip lines! I thought the 2nd Tarzan slide on stage 5 was awesome, but not for the feint-hearted. Great fun, great place, good exercise, highly recommended. I will be taking my work colleagues here for a corporate day in the future!

I booked the owl encounter pack as part of a Christmas present for my gifriend and her mam. We received a warm welcome from Mandy and Bruce (the dog) and were invited to look around the park before starting the owl encounter. We received high-quality information in a warm and friendly way about how the animals are housed, their diet and about each of their unique characteristics. It was brilliant to see these amazing animals up close and personal and to be able handle them; following Mandy's expert advice really put us at ease. We will definitely be visiting again!

We went as a family of 4 with our 2 boys (age 2 & 4). It was reptile day so we got to see and hold snakes, lizards, millipede, rat, baby owls and then the tarantula. The kids totally loved it and were buzzing. Me and Mum loved it too and managed to come out of our comfort zones by holding the tarantula and snake. The staff were so good with us they made it easy. I think we all enjoyed it as much as each other. I thoroughly recommend this for all ages. The staff really make the difference and make the experience good for kids & adults.
